Defactor & RWA.io

Defactor has launched RWA.io, a new global platform aimed at simplifying and unifying the RWA ecosystem. The platform will offer transparency through verified data and aims to drive innovation in the DeFi space by bringing together projects, applications, and service providers.

We're excited to share some news.

Earlier this year, as we began analysing two ideas (an RWA focused chain & AI Tooling for RWA) on our roadmap for development. It became evident that there was an opportunity to build out a platform with a global ambition for other projects in our industry to collaborate on. From these discussions, the seeds were planted for a new whole ecosystem project — RWA.io.

From ideation to launch, RWA.io has been independently bootstrapped by its founding team and with Defactor as a "first client".  Defactor has now been the first project to be verified in the RWA.io ecosystem. Soon data from the Defactor ecosystem will be available on RWA.io to be benchmarked like for like against other projects in the space.

RWA.io: Global HUB for Real-World Assets is now LIVE.

RWA.io aims to unify and simplify the fragmented user experience of our RWA landscape. Combining projects, applications, infrastructure and service providers into a “value chain” RWA offering. A core component embedded into this platform is our Defactor RWA toolkit powered by $FACTR.

What This Means for $FACTR Token Holders

Defactor will continue to focus on developing its toolkit to be a comprehensive application suite for RWA, covering everything — from launching and managing project tokens to asset tokenization and open finance solutions.  It will continue to be focused on Open EVM networks and the businesses launching and operating on them.

The launch of RWA.io brings numerous benefits to $FACTR holders:

  • Increased Utility: $FACTR is vital for transactions and fees using the Defactor Toolkit on RWA.io, increasing its demand.
  • Expanded Reach: $FACTR will gain more exposure as RWA.io grows.
  • Growth-Driven Rewards: More staking opportunities and incentives like airdrops and bonuses from other RWA projects in the ecosystem.
  • Verified Data: An independent platform for investors and partners to view and analyse transactional data from the Defactor ecosystem.

What’s Next?

The launch of RWA.io now offers Defactor and the $FACTR community a new channel for growth and awareness. We truly appreciate your continued support and trust. Together, we are building a future where RWA.io is positioned to be the shopfront for all things RWA with Defactor & $FACTR at its center. Thanks for being on this journey with us. We can't wait to share more updates as we announce the many partners joining us in this new and exciting ecosystem over the coming months.

Cheers,
